If you are looking to lose weight, cut the whiskey way down. You can eat right and indulge but definitely don't pound whiskey every day. You'll never lose the weight you want to lose.

I think it's more important to make sure you are eating the proper amount of calories and good carbs versus limiting carb intake in trying to lose weight. I personally may have a scoop of brown rice or small portion of whole grain pasta but the majority of my carb calories come from veggies.

Eat lean meats and healthy fats.

Of course, this may help to some extent but you'll certainly want to make sure your exercise regimen is in check.

@wytchinghours:
There's no point in going back to the old way of eating.

low carbing means:
1. avoiding sugary foods, added sugar and so on. that includes beverages.
2. processed foods
3. bread that has no nutrients (white)
4. rice and potatoes. they're nice fillers but the nutrients that they deliver don't make up for the amounts of sugar that they convert to once digested.

What normal kind of eating are you suggesting that anyone should go back to?
